Sander, Donald Edward, Jr. Loving husband, devoted father, adoring grandfather. There are not adequate words to describe what Don was to those who love him. As a husband to Kelli, his wife of 53 years, whom he had known since the age of 3, Don was a best friend and soul mate. As a father to Greg, Debi and Rebecca, he was a champion, cheerleader and advisor. And nothing gave him more joy than to be "Poppy" to his 10 grandchildren. Born to Don Sr. and Dorothy who greeted him in heaven, and eldest brother to David and Dan, Don's legacy lives in all those he leaves here on Earth. He will be missed-until we see him again. Services are scheduled for Thursday, June 27th at 12 noon at University Park United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Oak Hill Academy Scholarship Fund.
